The Early Settlement of the Foose Family

The early American settlement of the Foose (Foos or Fuss) family was in the Schuylkill River valley between Valley Forge and Reading, PA, in the present counties of Montgomery, Chester, and Berks. The variations of the family's name on records in Pennsylvania are normally Foos, Foose, Fuss and, rarely, Fass, Feis, Feuse, Foas, Foice, Fooce, Foot, Fouce, Fouse, Fouze, Fow, Fuce, Fuchs, Fus, Fuse, Fusse, Fusz, Fuys, Fuz, Fuzz. The names are pronounced similarly to goose or foot. This is Germanic and indeed the name is German for foot.

Nicholas or Johan Nicholaus Fuss, First Foose-to-Settle in Pennsylvania

The "Account of Palatine Passengers on board ye Pennsylvania Merchant, John Stedman, Commander. from Rotterdam (Holland), at the day of their arrival at Philadelphia, September ye 10 th---1731" includes in the list of "Men over sixteen" years of age the name--Nicholas Fuys. and in the list of "Children under the age of 16, the names Magdalena Fuvs and Maria Fuys. The complementary list of those same “Palatines imported in the ship Pennsylvania Merchant, Jno. Stedman. Mr., from Rottm., but last from Dover (England), Qualified Septr.. 11th., 1731” before the Court at Philadelphia, contains the signature of this immigrant,. Niklas Fuss.

As stated in the preceding paragraph, with Nicholas on the Pennsylvania Merchant in 1731 were two daughters under 16, but no wife. Perhaps she died on the arduous voyage to America; if so, he soon remarried., (In one recorded instance in 1732, the transatlantic crossing took 24 weeks. and over 100 of the 150 passengers died of hunger. These ships were very crowded and unsanitary; bad weather and pirates often prolonged their voyage.)

Clues to the Origin and Early Homes of the Foos Family in Europe

Letters in 1906 between Foos families in America, Germany, and France (the result of an exhibit in Paris by The Foos Gas Engine Co. of Springfield, Ohio being seen by a lawyer from Paris, Louis Foos) yielded the following information: According to Louis Foos the family was of Alsatian (area of France on the-German border) origin. Around 1738 a father came into discord with-his three sons after which two migrated, one to Germany and one to America. The 1738 date is interestingly close to Nicholas Fuss’ 1731 arrival in America. The grandfather of Louis (who was the son of the son that did not migrate away from Alsace), Benard Foos. was born in Shedes (Schaidt), Alsace in 1773. The father of Louis, Pierre Foos, was born at Riedselsy, Alsace in 1808.

A letter to Mrs. Theodore Baily in 1948 from Martha Schollmayer, born Foos, of Bad Durkheim, Germany stated that her family originated from Christian Foos,--the son who went to Germany and settled in Wahenheim in the Palatinate where he married and had a son in 1740 whose name was Phillip Foos. She indicated that the name Foos was then a very rare one. She also indicated-that the family was originally Catholic, but that she had been brought up in the Protestant faith of her Mother.

In 1609, the hamlet, Nohfelden, Germany had 21 house owners including Jacob Foos, and living with him were wife, Eva, two brothers, Nickel, a linen weaver, and Thomas, also two sons and a servant, per the Protestant Church Archives of Konken.

Hence, Nohfelden, Wachenheim, Riedselz. and Schaidt (using their modern German spellings) may have been early homes of the Foos family or families. The above municipalities are located as follows:

(1) Nohfelden is located about 7 miles south of Birdenfold
(2) Wachenheim is about 15 miles West of Ludwigshafen
(3) Riedsely, France is about 15 miles west of the Rhine River and 4 miles south of Weissenburg
(4) Schaidt is 7 miles east northeast of Weissenburg.

These four towns in the Palatinate and Alsace are within about a 60 mile area.

Life of Nicholas or Johan Nicholaus Fuss in Pennsylvania

Nicholas Fuss may have come over as a redemptioner (indentured servant), as did so many to pay for their passage. His name has not been found on the scanty church records of various denominations of the region before 1745, or on the lists of road petitioners, freeholders. Patentees and records of Old Philadelphia County.

In 1742, Nicholas was one of the 49 renters of land on McCall Manor. This 14,060 acre tract (a grant to John Penn in 1701 who sold it in 1735 to George McCall, a Philadelphia merchant, in Montgomery (then Philadelphia) County extended along the Berks County line to the Schuylkill River, including the present Pottstown.

Nearby in Oley, Daniel Boone was born in 1734 and Abraham Lincoln's ancestors lived near there during the 1730-50 period. On the map, Figure 3. McCall Manor is east of the Schuylkill River, between the river and New Hanover.

Nicholas made a trip to Europe and again took the oath of abjuration on August 15. 1750 upon his return to Philadelphia as one of the "foreigners" carried by the ship Royal Union from Rotterdam. A comparison of his signatures shows similarities between those to the 1731 oath of allegiance and to the 1750 oath of abjuration, also between those to the 1731 oath of abjuration and to his will of 1762.

Nicholas continued to live on McCall manor or nearby, as his daughter was married in New Hanover in 1753.

Not long before his death in 1762, Nicholas moved a few miles westward to Amity Township in the newly formed Berks County. His name is not on its land indices or on the existing Amity tax lists of 1754, 1758, and 1760. But he owned land since he was termed a yeoman of Amity Township in the estate accounting. Nicholas died in September 17-30.1762.

In 1771 Johannes Klinger, Nicholas FOOS, and Valentine FOOS made pledge for Pikeland's second Lutheran church - St Peter's - near Chester (then Yellow) Springs, West Pikeland township, Chester county, PA.

Elisabeth was Nicholas Fuss’ only known wife, and hence the mother of all Nicholas Fuss' children born in America. The first record of Elisabeth by name is in that of her son’s 1745 baptism (Wilhelm Fuss born June 4, 1745, baptized November 3 at-New Hanover Church, son of Nicolas and-wife Elisabetha.) The last record of her is the 1786 confirmation of Friedrich, son of Widow Elisabeth Fuss, "across the Schulkiel at the Peikstown Church" (now Zions): the church is located: near Spring City.
